I considered: Jennifer, Kristen, Valerie, Xtacy (lol), Stacy and Jaqueline, finally fell in love w/ the name Jessica, Jess for short.
Curious what names you considered.........

Well I was originally Jasmine. But the trans naming committee rejected that name. I tried Josephine but they to rejected that name. Both were rejected on the basis that neither name suited me.
Few other names divine brown .
Chocolate wounder :)
Alpha Omega.
Michelle. Trudy
Neither suited me.
I like Sasha, Sharon, Xanthe. Dont know why really, just sound very sexy - so they certainly wouldn't suit a big lump like me! :D
I first named myself Tammy in honor of both my seventh grade band teacher whose hosed legs drove me crazy and a college girl I liked. Then, after spending some time in chat groups I realized that half the known crossdressing world goes my Tammy. Isn't that weird?? How did I pick up on that name all by myself??
Anyway, it got too confusing online. You couldn't tell one Tammy from the next. So, I finally picked a name that was very close to my boy name :-) Charlene
There weren't any.. Karren's been the name that was screaming in the back of my head for the last 5 decades... But I did create a couple alter egos... Kandice Fabrique and Kerrie Wilde.. Both of which I've killed off because maintaining 2 distinct identities (Karren and anti-Karren) was enough work!! Lol
Some of the other names I considered were Demetria (Tria for short), Naomi, Tanya and Tosha. I finally fell for and settled on Emily.
Heather has always been one of my favorite female names. As well as: Valeria, Victoria, Patricia, and Constance. There are others but I can't remember them right at this moment.
Some of the other names i considered before settling on Debs were...
Trace, Shaz, Chantelle [i still like that one :daydreaming:] Chardonnay and Suzee
It must be something to do with how i pictured my femme self originally :heehee:
BTW, Deborah is the posh pronounciation of Debs :D
Well I never really though about it to much. My name is my name... mostly. Jan Michael turned into Janet Michelle. Didn't think it really needed to change to much.
Cheers,
Jan
I thought about melanie (still one of my favs), jessica, emily, julia, kate, but i totally fell in love with katie once all was said and done.
There was a girl named Jane in the 5th grade...
From as far back as I can remember, I have always known that my name should have been Susan - so that's my name and it will always be so. :)
I did'nt name myself the girl next door did when she would dress me up in her old dresses and petticoats. I was her little sister Susan. so you see since that time I've always though of my inner girl as Susan.:daydreaming:
Me too,Susan
How very ironic. Cynthia Danielle is the name of my oldest daughter born in 1969 in Norman, OK.Quote:

Vicki, Kimberly, Tammy or Jessica were the name's I liked. I eliminated them one by one which left Kimberly. She was a woman I knew many years ago when I was in my early 20's, I would have married her if my best friend didn't marry her first. I respected her and loved her, for her. And I am very proud to carry her name. :battingeyelashes:
Hmm, I only considered one name before I decided on Tiffany...and that was Amber.
I think Tiffany is a much cuter name that suits me more!
I wanted Cassandra, but it was taken. There was a Greek story of a woman known as Cassandra. Her loveliness caused Apollo to fall in love with her, and he granted her the gift of prophecy. But she didn't return his love, and in anger he cursed her so that, although her prophecies were true, no one would believe her. In one of my former jobs someone told me I had the unfortunate habit of saying things that turned out to be right, about three years later. Seemed like a natural fit.
not too many Lacey was another choice but i like being called mj so i went with Marissa Jennifer and my friends call me mj:D
I didn't have any others. It was always Sandra and sometime Sandy. I call myself Sandra B, after Sandra Bullock, whom I find so adorable.
both male name, and cd lady name. My first lady name was Geraldine, later Alice, then Lucille, after Lucille Ball, who also was tall, with great long legs. Thinking of a new name soon, like Marcia, or Alice, or Tricia, or Donna, or Sheila. Maybe.
my femme name was given to me at birth only it is spelt in the male form "lauri". It is of finnish descent. So I never considered anything else.
My name started with Sylvia a character.. lets call her a kindred sister who wore what I used to always wear ....'A black cat suit' she was portrayed in the "funnies" and to me it seem befitting and I liked the parallel comparison my last name came a short while later for my love for white laced lingerie but for short my friends all call me ' lacie'
Sylvia Whitelace
hugs....lacie
I chose something similar to my boy name. I wondered how I would learn to respond to a new name. I felt something similar sounding would make it easier. It must be my practical side showing through.
Gen (short for Genifer) is very similar to my boy name. I had no trouble getting used to it. The spelling is a combination of intentional change on my part (the G) and mistake (1 N vs 2) also on my part. In the end, it all works perfectlky to my liking.
Gen
Jennifer then and Jennifer now.
I looked around on some baby name web sites for a while. Thought about using Jamie then decided to add my sisters middle name and came up with Jaylynn.
Chose my name simpy because its the female of my male name.As soon as I am dressed my wife always cales me Glynnis and regards me as her lesbian lover.
Marjorie was supposed to be my name if I was a girl, always kind of liked it just changed the spelling to Marjory.
Many years ago my mum told me that if I'd been born a girl my name would have been Elizabeth Charlotte after my grandmothers. I never cared much for Charlotte so for a while I called myself Liz. Later on, I decided on Kim which can be either a male or female name, guess why??? LOL!
Later on than that, I fell in love with French names and I became Louise, thought of Suzette/Suzanne, Michelle etc. but at that point since I wasn't engaged in social relationships, still in the closet at home it didn't matter much.
It came about quite by accident really; I'd been up late one night discussing my TV thing with my wife and she asked "Is there a name you'd prefer as a girl?".
The question took me by surprise and I blurted out "erm...Jackie?" I'd known 3 girls/women in my life with that name and in their different ways they'd all made a lasting impression on me so perhaps it wasn't surprising that I would snatch at the name when put on the spot?
As it happens I've come to prefer the full name Jacqueline, and the French spelling of Jacqui. Don't know why but it just seems to suit the way I feel and the way I look.
i got my name from my aunt and her name was anna so i took my first name joe and there you are it came out to be joann
Ralph, Ed, James, Marvin, Dave, and Sarah were on the block. Sarah was the best choice by far.
I started out and Andrea (a name i really love) but changed it when my mother told me , when talking about baby names for my neice, that had I been born a girl i would have been Jackie, so i took that since my wife dosent really like Andrea. Katherine is another name i am really fond of.
There were no other considerations for a name for myself other than the one I have chosen when I joined this site six months ago. I have been calling myself Susan for over 40 years and that is not going to change. I have been a cd for such a long time and the name that I gave myself so many years ago will never change. I am comfortable with this and see no reason to change.
Well I have always called myself Alexandria. But my wife calls me Kevena when en femme. So I guess I got two names:battingeyelashes:. which if u look at the name my wife calls me u can figure out what my birth name is
Loni, in favor of Loni Anderson......
Rhonda was the name I would have been named if I had been born as a girl,, so I chose it and the Jean is for my middle initial 'J'. Plus, I wanted a name that wasn't a 'trendy' name at the time that I was deciding on a femme name.
I tried Joanne for a while from a CD'r I read about many years ago in the 'Ann Landers' advice column.
Then Cassandra. Also Jane, as a spin on my given name,Jay.
Was using Marcella who was a high school should-have-been sweetheart and when I had to register a Fem name to join this forum it locked me into this name and that's fine by me.
It was not really a difficult choice. I had never really even consider a name early in my life. Just wanted to dress and loved the way I felt. So then just about 2 years ago, when I began to pick up my dressing again, I just thought I need a name. I thought about my teenage sweety, and her perfume. How turned it got me, and how sexy she smelled, how much I miss her. The name was an easy leap for me. Lauren it was without hesitation.
just settled on marieanne so the list is pretty short.
jolie: first crush in jr high
Karen: my wife ( who I truely love and adore) by the way
marieanne: because to me she was the prettiest of the two on gilligan's island
The names I consider before Jennifer were Jessica, Nancy, Tammy and Lisa but Jennifer won
For a while when I first joined the on-line tg community, I had an alternative identity whose name was Nikki (short for Nichola).
Eventually I dropped this as I became more comfortable with my present identity. However, I now consider Nikki or Nichola to be my middle name.
But Susan is a femme name I've liked for a long time and will contimue to use it.
Luv
Susan
I have always liked this name. It's the only one I have ever had. And Teal is my favorite color.
As long as I can rember I've thought Joan was a good name. When I was little me and my couson, a girl by the way, would play. If it was her turn to pick what we were doing it would be dolls, so she sometimes call me Joan Marrie.
I simply picked a name similar to my real name. I somehow felt that I should be honest with myself. I was tempted by the name "Andrea" though. :)
in high school it was Pam for a day or 3 but stuck with Adelle if i had to change it would be Charlotte :daydreaming::hugs:
Soo cool to pick tour own name Rebecka because I like being called becka.
I gave Frau Linkmeier serious thought,considered Mara,Xev,Moyra,and Kate,but there were a lot of Kates in here,but no Kate Lynns,so I decided on Kate Lynn,Frau Linkmeier would have been more towards my personality.LOL
I have settled on Annette; did Cassie for a little bit and an ex-girl friend tagged me with Janet; but always like Annette?
